bullet vs stock 99 gt wheels

[grannycar]

hi. i have 35th wheels on my 35th 99 gt.. i know they are lighter then the bullet rims.. i am going to put bullets on mine.. is there gonna be much of a loss of rwhp and 1/4 times? i belive my 35th rims weigh 17lbs each and the bullets weigh 22lbs..
thanks matt.. not sure on the weight but im pretty sure the 35th's are lighter..

The Bullitts are lighter than the other GT wheels. I don't think your 35ths weigh 17lbs, steeda superlights weigh 17.

Yea and they say for every 10 lbs rotating mass is -1 tenth of a second in the 1/4 and you will gain traction out of the hole if you are putting on a wider rim! which should make up for the .05 seconds you would lose!

i belive they are both 8 inch wide rims...im gonna do a search in the weight...

they are both 8in wide, but i doubt that your 35ths weight that much. they're prolly close enough in weight that any difference in speed or hp will be minimal.
